Another Remarkable Cure.

The testimony of a man in Montpelier, VT, who
had been treated by over twenty different leading
physicians, and his case given up hopeless,
cuIed in less than three months by DIR. Royce.
Here are his own words for it.
For tif cen years have been troubled with my
stomach and bowels which wOuld PROSTATE me
from two to six weeks that 1 would be unable to
do any labor. My pains were so severe as to cause
vomiting which would last three or four hours at
times 1t would relieve me, and sometimes not

The New South.

Hardly more significant was the
speech of Mr.. Grady, one of the editors
of the Atlanta Constitution, at the re-
cent dinner of the New England sOcie-
ty in New York, than the reception
accorded it by the press of the country
north and south. Before speaking Mr..
Grady was asked by friend what he
was going to say. He replied that he
had thought of a thousand things, five
hundred of which they would murder
him for saying at the dinner, and the
other FIVE hundred after he should get
home. He was the first Out-and-Ou
Southerner to be invited to a dinner
of the society and, amid repeated in
terruptiOns by the cheers of the New
Englanders, he spoke with warmth and
frankness for "The New South" and
in a way that showed that he had Sc
lected the best and the wisest of the
thousand things of which he had
thought That he spoke wisely is evil
denced by the fact that journals of
every political faith have kind word
for him and his address and seem dis
posed to welcome the new south as a
friend and ally and not as an enemy.
All this angurs well for the new year
as well as the new south.

A. Hawkes.. Hawkes. fell from the
roof of a three story building in Ben
ningtOn Thursday and was instantly
killed. 1t was at first supposed to be
an accident. Both were near each
other on the roof Of the building and
at some distance from two wOrkmen
engaged in putting on a tin roof.
Hawkes. had instituted proceedings to
dispOssess Meagher of the premises be-
cause of the liquor saloon he kept on
the first floor and they had had some
words about the suit on the roof be-
fore the catastrophe occurred. The
officers have positive evidence from a
witness at distance that Hawkes. was
pushed off by some one. Meagher has
disappeared. Hawks must have gone
over the edge of the roof with consid-
cradle momentum, because he struck

Thomas Meagher, charged with the
murder of Charles Hawks at Benning-

building, still evades the officers of the
law. Charles Riddle, stage driver,
was the only direct witness of the
scene. He was seated on his stage
coach, and had just turned from Depot
street into Main, when the roof of the
Hawks block was brought plainly to
his view. He was possibly so rods
distant, yet it is wonderful how dis
tinctly the roof of that building could
be seen. just as he looked up he saw
one man strike another, apparently
from behind, then take him by both
shoulders and shove him over the COR

After Seven Years.

We recently published an account of a remarka-
Bile cure of a bed-ridden lady in Bennington by Dr
E. W. Royce, who is now at the Bates House IN
TINS village Many TIA eeXpressed doubt as
truth of the report and have taken measun
authenticate or dIsprove il. To-day we h4Fe
a lady III this village who for seven years has . 4
a helpless cripple, suffering from partial paE1
ana rheumatism. During this time this lady, NJ
A. b. Case who now resides with her daughter
over q. ID. Il III. w. Cheney's store, has ueveIA
lifted her foot from the floor without artificial aid
Her whole left side has during this time been af
feeted by disease and during nearly three years of
the time she was never taken from the bed except
as she was lifted in the sheets During the long
years of her illness she attended by physicians
here and in Brandon, and one after another have
gwen her up as lncurable- One week ago last
Wednesday Or. Royce was called to see her. He
took the case for treatment, and Mrs. Case began
taking his medicine, Last Wednesday afternoon
she arose from her wheel-chair, and leaning with
ner hand on the back of another chair walked
across the room. The next day in the same mannaf
she walked t, ON her room TO the kitchen, pasS
through an intervening room. and she can ~
her foot and throw il forward very freely
Improvement has all taken place in less thaft
days treatment under DIR. Royce, and she is eveN
day gaining, both as regards the of her limbs
and her general health.
Mrs. Case is lady 81 years old and her rapid
recovery is the more remarkable in view of this
fact There can be no doubt of the Doctors
derstanding of medicine when his prescriptions
produce such wonderful results He has seen the
lady but twice personally, and did not give her any
encouragement that she would be able to walk or
move about under three months time and Mrs.
Case and her friends the more grateful to Dr.
Royce Tor the very speedy relief he has brought
midst, and any one doubling the statement madf
in regard to it referred 10 the lady herself or
any member of her family for cOrrObOrative evi-
dence. The Doctor when he took the case was
confident of his ability to affect a cure and il is

The Deaf Hear.
Rutland Cvt.l Review. Sept. 10. 1856.

OF the hundreds of cases successfully treated
by Drs. Severance 81 Royce during their stay here
our personal attention has been directed TO num-
Der; but perhaps none of them is more wonderful
than that of the tweve-years old daughter of Mrs.
Ellen Davis of North Chester vt. From early in
fancy this child has been very delicate and was
long sufferer from catarrh of a very distressing
and obstinate nature causing at times enlarge
menJ of the tOnsils to that degree that it with
difficulty she could swallow solid food. The chHd>
has always been deaf-iu later years it being al
most impossible to make her hear anything. The
child was put under treatment from Drs Sever
ance g. Royce, not, however until physicians had
expressed the opinion that there no help for
her. From private letter from Mrs. Davis
quote follows:
Last May my attention called to the adj
vertisement of Drs. Severance & Royce, and de-
termined to make one more effort having, hOwev-
eT, little faith that she would receive any benefit,
The result is truly astonishing. She is now n
healthy child, can bear exposure TO all kinds of
weather, aud is entirely cured of her deafness.
Every one who sees her remarks on her improved
appearance, and regards it simply wonderful
that such change should take place in so short
time. would advise all who are similarly atf1ict-
ed to consult these physicians without delay"
This case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from BIRTH and it was more a con-
stitutiOnal difficulty than local Drs. Severance
81 Royce have had remarkable success in tho
treatment of Deafness and they have in all chronic
elections; and so long as they are here all suffer
ers should take advantage of the visit and consult
them --~e-~aa

chronic difficulty of So years standing and also for
kidney trouble from which he had suffered for Is
years. Mr.. Goodenough is " years of age, and his
recovery from both complaints is the more remark
able on that account. he had tried various phi ysi
clans at homo and abroad without relief but in
three weeks after he consulted DIR. Royce he was
relieved of both. He was in office the other
day, looking as hale and hearty many do at fifty
years, and he was very pronJun in his endorse
ments of DIR. Royce. Mr.. GOOdenOugh is one Of
the wealthy men in this section, and his character
for integrity and veracity 5 well known. There

A Wonderfully Successful Treatment.

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done for the alienation of
human suffering and the cure of disease than DR.
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas, he
further pushed his Investigations inIhe treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for a physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of disease-the of chronic long
standing cOmplaints-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases, which were won
derful in their effects Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up iDcurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the use of these

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease are physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure pain, contentment or
unhappiness, success or failure. Health is essen
tial to the accomplishment of every purpose, while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and Hottest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the browning work of the Creator ;
and when this complicated structure, exquisite
ly wrought, is disturbed by disease the most suf.
icient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician for the human body is too precious be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in all forms
of disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine can possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to cure chronic or linger
ing diseases DIR. E. w. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house, st. Johnsbury, Vt, has met a
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means ample, and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases
of chronic diseases. to effect perfect and complete
by means of HARMLESS VEGETA BILE
REMEDIES.

concerned perfectly cured She called and
